Game 2

The second game was played at Terry's house. Since there was no
clock available, Andrew Grant, the referee, kept time by the traditional
Japanese method of counting each move separately and debiting the
players only with the number of whole minutes used. This proved to be
incredibly arduous; it was like counting byo-yomi for seven hours, but
it did leave us with a full list of the times taken for each move.

White 20: A difficult move to decide on. It would be possible to
play around 27, aiming for territory on the side, but Black could then
threaten this territory from both sides, securing his own groups. I
wanted to encourage Black to invade, so that I would have a group to aim
at, and could myself prepare invasions of Black's two side positions
while attacking it.

Black 21-25: It seems strange to allow White to strengthen himself
with 22 when Black intends to invade the side. there may well have been
a chance to play 22 himself if this exchange had been omitted.

White 34: Very important. It might have been better for Black to
play 36 before invading at 27.

White 44 leaves weaknesses on the side, but it is essential to play
lightly so as not to lose control of the centre. After 44 Black can
connect along the side by wedging a stone in immediately above 38 and
then sacrificing it.

White 52: (Below.) Bad. I had planned to followup with Dia
1, but changed my mind when I hallucinated that Black 8 could cut me
off. However White 9 aims at both A and B, and Black cannot play this
way. After 59 Black's weak group suddenly secures a lot of territory and
the game looks good for him.

Black 69 would be better one point to the left, or at 70. After 69
White is able to settle the groups on both sides. It should never have
been possible to make all that territory on the right while running away
with a weak group.

White 88: I had been thinking about this move ever since white 34 -
there seems to be no really good answer for Black, though some of the
variations are quite tricky.

Black 101-109: Necessary to make an eye for his group.

White 118: I thought the game was almost over, but I completely
overlooked 121 (readers may note that 122 took me 13 minutes). This
stone cuts the weak white group into two weak groups. I expected one of
them to die.
